I think that all sounds good on paper, but it's too intransparent in the end, so in practice it fails. The idea for 6) was so that in general you can open doors with less invested skill points when compared to lockpick, but to open chests its better to skill lockpick (because there's the chance of destroying the loot). So the distance between lock and explosion has to be really small.ģ) 4) 5) are realized so that lock level vs distance determines if its generally possible to break a lock with that explosive, and skill determines chance of success. It does much less damage, and is less effective against locks.Ģ) is necessary, because I wanted there to be an incentive for crafting the remotely detonated explosives, which are easier to place.

If you shoot dynamite, that's actually not the dynamite explosion! It's some default explosion used for all destroyed projectiles. Let me give you a real quick explanation of why it's the way it is, starting with the requirements:ġ) I wanted it to be real-time (because that was something new, and if done right, I thought would be much cooler than having menus)Ģ) There should be a certain skill component involved (not stats skill, but actual aiming/placement)ģ) It should be based on the Explosive stat as well.Ĥ) It has to consider the strength of the lockĥ) It has to consider the strength of the explosiveĦ) It should be a real alternative to lockpickħ) No message boxes that say like 'Skill 50 + roll 10/10 VS Lock DC 80'Ĭonsequence of 1) is that it has to check for the explosions, not the explosives. Then I can say: Look how well that works for the lock breaking It was intended as a complete alternative to lockpicking :sadvaultboy:Īnd I usually like to mention explosive entry as a negative example when someone asks 'he, can't you make tackle based on the armor, unarmed skill, strength, endurance, speed, luck, implants.'.

Plus there's a chance the explosion destroys the stuff inside of the container so yeah lockpicking would be the better choice in the long run anyway. I don't think it was intended as a complete alternative to lockpicking anyway though more like an option if you have no bobby pins and a good explosive/skill.

Yeah they should change it to something like that or maybe the container itself could determine whether it breaks open, a lockers lock probably wouldn't be as strong as a safes lock. Or atleast make it the same point lvl as lockpicking (50=Average, 75=Hard, 100=Very Hard)

Yeah Poop it is kinda lame.not to mention i wasted probably 30 dynamite trying to destroy one lock.which in real life dynamite would blow open most locks.I did the same thing, I almost ALWAYS tag lockpicking because I cant stand not being able to unlock stuff but this time I just said 'hey since I can now blow open locks why waste a tag on lockpicking' but now im beginning to regret it.I love this mod but they really should tweak the explosive entry setting to be a bit more realistic.
